The bridge leading into Limsa.

For the love of everything that is decent, let us ride on a chocobo on this horrible bridge!

It's aesthetic, so I wouldn't call it horrible... but it definitely looks chocobo-friendly to me.

I gotta agree with this, annoying having to walk the rest of the way into LL.

You could skip that by taking the rental chocobo. Then dismount and use your personal one.
It will eat your money up but if you hate the bridge that much, I guess you'll do it.

That doesn't help with going TO Limsa.

And no matter how pretty the bridge is after you've crossed it a bit it's just painful taking an extra 40 seconds crossing it.

40 seconds is painful?
I don't really know what to say to that.

You could just save your quickstride for it if it's THAT unbareable.

IMO, best part of limsa >.>

There's no reason not to let the chocobo riding extend the length of the bridge. It's wide enough and easily chocobo accessible.

Hell, in the cut-scene you're shown riding out of it.

Instead of being able to ride on it, how about they add lots of festive dancers on the bridge, all miq of course, with fire twirling, lalafell throwing, Roe dunking and last but not least..... I mean really though. Yeah it's a little bit of a walk but jesus.
stretch your e-legs.


Or just use anima ;)

Or we could bitch about it in the forums and have SE do a very simple change in game.

Hopefully it's simple. I noticed the chocobo stops right at the zoning part. I don't know how hard it is to change where you zone at. Speaking of though, they should streamline these zoning areas, really annoying to lose auto-follow when it happens.

Perhaps the chocobos are afraid of the sea. ; ; Poor chocobos.

They implemented this to keep the adventurers of Eorzea fit, too much riding on a chocobo will make you fat.

It's a similar situation in Gridania, not being able to summon until after crossing the bridges beyond the entrance gate.

Battling monsters isn't exercise at all?!

Set Home Point inside Limsa > Go adventuring till your head falls off > Return!

OPEN UP THE GATES TO ULDAH.


while we're at it.

While it would be nice, you can tell all of these "Long" aspects are because of the zoning system. Its why there are bridges in Coeorthas, why there is Small side valleys in MorDhona, why all of Grid/Uldah/Limsa areas have a small narrow section that is some what lengthy in order to allow you to zone easier.

They allow things to disappear from one side and appear at the next. But I think the Uldah gates should be open too, it would be a lot more pleasent i think, especially for new player.

Better yet let us ride Chocobo's in town... I realize their shy, but.... come on really?

No.

I don't want to hear some idiot spamming their chocobo whistle every 5 seconds while I'm in town.
Not only that, Gridania has a lot of narrow pathways, making it silly to see several chocobos going through at the same time.

I can't think of any Final Fantasy that ever let you ride your chocobo through town. Maybe racing in a golden saucer, but never through the saucer.

And I think the lag/loading issues alone would force your chocobo to a crawl anyway.

Doubt it. The chocobos are low-res for some reason.

I actually thought it'd look nice to see chocobos riding through Gridania..Seems natural to let the birds run around there. But in the other cities it'd look too strange..
We're all entitled to our opinions though

No. Stop saying this. It is a terrible idea and you are a terrible person.

I like my cities not smelling like chocobo shit. Not only that, but I'd rather not see 10000000 chocobos in the fronds. Also, name one instance where a Final Fantasy game let you travel across town via chocobo, and you may sway my opinion.

Are you guys seriously THIS lazy? Christ.

Now you don't even want to walk anymore? lol. Lets keep the chocos off the bridge.

Yeah, you know your logic is bad when you're confused when it's used against you.

If you can't even make a valid argument then this forum isn't for you :)

It went over your head.

I guess I better explain before more people misunderstand.

The person said that because I don't want to walk on a very long, boring, and chocobo accessible bridge that I don't like walking at all.

I countered this logic by using their own logic and saying that because they don't want chocobos to be able to run on the bridge then they must not like chocobos at all.

It may only be 40 seconds but it's little things like this that become increasingly annoying when you have to keep doing them. It wouldn't be difficult for them to change it and would make the game that little bit less annoying. After all the whole point in a Chocobo was to get around faster right, why should you have to get off and walk the rest of the way?

make it optional, also the bridge leade to gridania, make it optional to ppl want to walk/run into the city or ride chocobo

ps: while there are ppl against it, but when SE add the ride able chocobo on those bridge, they ll ride chocobo anyway, so why against it ? just make it optional then the disscussion is over

This.

Awesome as it would be, Crystal tools takes time to load the city on entry.

So it's either a 40sec walking stretch, or a 40sec loading screen. Chocobo-speeds would break the reason it's so long.

Even though riding in would be nice, I'd prefer the transition without a loading screen.

Who cares if chocobos couldn't go into cities in other games? There's no rule saying that FFXIV can't be a little different. Who knows, it might actually make the game more FUN.

The fact that people on these forums have been crying for a year that this game isn't Final Fantasy have been saying that FFXIV can't be different. NO WE DON'T WANT CONJURER WE WANT BLACK MAGE/WHITE MAGE. MORE TRADITION, etc. And as I've stated before. It wouldn't be fun. It would be annoying seeing a bunch of mounted people in the middle of an area when I want to repair some gear or sell off some items. There's absolutely no need for chocobos to be in town when everything is about a two minute walk away.
